- | The following is a prioritized feature request list for the DrumGizmo Drumkit editor. First on the list has highest priority: | ||
- | * Export to single file with multiple channels for future disk-stream feature preperation. | ||
- | * The possibility to adjust the length of the fadeouts of selections. This fadeout value can be global for all selections, but should be adjustable. | ||
- | * The possibility to adjust the cutoff energy level when using " | ||
- | * When using listen, make sure that the sound isn't distorted when listening to higher volume hits. | ||
- | * The possibility to click on the circles in velocity view, which will then select the corresponding selection in waveform view. | ||
- | * Save all energy levels to the .xml file. If no energies are detected when loading a kit → autogenerate. | ||
- | * Use right-click on the mouse to listen in waveform view | ||
- | * Add the possibility to play all samples in velocity view by clicking a play button. Only play x miliseconds of each selection. This length should be adjustable by a slider or a lineedit placed close to the play button. Highlight each circle while playing them. | ||
- | * Allow the manipulation of more than one selection at a time using a common ctrl+mouseclick or by dragging the mouse across one or more selections. With more selections selected, when resizing, all selected selections should resize accordingly. | ||
- | * Add the possibility to move selections around freely in velocity view. This allows the user to override the calculated energy for a selection if it is wrong. | ||
- | * Allow “simulating” a hit by clicking on the hit energy line at a random place. It could then play the hits it would be using in DrumGizmo, giving a good idea of whether the current layout of hits would actually work. Could have, not should have, convenience factor. | ||
- | More requests | + | Great Ideas for Drumgizmo |
- | * " | + | |
+ | first of all : thanks to all the team, and all the ppl involved | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are all ideas i gathered | ||
+ | |||
+ | But it has this nerdy aspect, that a lot of Linux Opensources softs have, which i think prevent a lot of « casual » people to use it, i thats too baaad because it’s has so much power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, here are the ideas:) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | change the knobs labels to real names : instead of pRandom or pClose, use more understading names to make the soft clearer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - since EzDrumer and Superior Drummers | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - something amazing would be to be able to switch only a part of the drumkit. For example the snare or the kick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | In order to do it, instant of making drumkits | ||
+ | |||
+ | And to go further, we could even use different mics to be on the top of the game haha. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I thinks this doesn’t need dat much programming (thats a big part yea, but it’s not complex in term of algorithms, if the bank is correctly set, it’s just chaging somes adresses to pick the rights samples ) | ||
+ | It’s more complex for the irl stuff (gather differents drumkits, record everthing with the same stup in the same place) | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Instead of dowloading an archive with sound samples, maybe create a DG archive format, « .dgz » for instance, and load this whole file in the soft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then the soft will get the wav files inside, locate the midimaps availables and stuff. Once again it’s just more convenient for casual user. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Not software related, but the website its not very welcoming. I think a good website could help a lot to get more people involved. I know i might talk like a start-up nation guy, and that this soft is made for « fun » | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Even in social medias, there is nothing about it. Maybe it’s your decision to stay quiet,but i thinks that’s not a good idea. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To conclude yea, this soft is like and old rusty car with a brand new V8 engine inside. Its has the potential to become huge in term of use and utility (featuring a big community of drumkits sampes makers). It’s just need a proper V1 release version with all the comestics, videos, tutorial, that people need to use it properly !: | ||
